USS Arizona uniforms



Arizona is getting on the alternate uniform bandwagon with some nice one-offs for this weekend's game against Hawaii. They mark the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor (minus 3 months) and the USS Arizona.  I'll let Paul Lukas from Uni-watch describe it for you:

Arizona is hosting Hawaii this Saturday, and the Wildcats will be wearing a uniform that honors the USS Arizona, which was stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii when it was bombed and sank by the Japanese on Dec. 7, 1941. Arizona and Hawaii, get it?
Okay, so it would be better if the game were taking place closer to Dec. 7, but the uniform is a good one. Arizona has put together a really good video that explains all of the details, although you might want to mute the soundtrack (and all the info in the video is also available in this PDF)
Lots of good stuff there. But ugh, that neck bumper — a glaring apostrophe catastrophe. Punctuation illiteracy strikes again.
